Holmes thwarts a man he put in prison for murder who swears to kill him at his trial. The ending is a bit quick, and leaves out a secondary plot thread.

Otherwise, not bad. The main actors are good.

I always like to watch some old black and white TV episodes & movies around Christmas time, and if they feature a bit of snow then so much the better!

Of course a good cast and interesting story help too, and this one certainly has both.

I can't believe this series was never shown on television in Britain until 2006! I'm so glad I haven't seen it before, because I now have the rest of the episodes to look forward to. Great actors playing Holmes and Watson, really well cast. Although I had not previously heard of them, I have become an instant fan.

Highly recommended, although it would be nice to get a version with a slightly higher bitrate!

... How did she know how big the little door on his cell door was so as to fit in JUST perfectly?

Hmmmmm.

A wonderful episode.
